The scope of work includes mobilization, traffic control, shoring, bypass pumping, recoating pipes and valve vault appurtenances, replacing pump guide rails and cables, and installing concrete pads. Electrical and instrumentation upgrades are a primary focus, featuring automated call and text alarm notifications for water levels and pump failures, as well as quick-connect plugs for portable generators.

Compliance with Caltrans 2026 Standard Specifications, City of Coalinga 2006 Standards, Buy America requirements, and ADA accessibility is mandatory. Bidders must also adhere to prevailing wage requirements for Fresno County Area 2 and provide at least three project references from the last five years.
